Justin Timberlake was forced to postpone his Forget Tomorrow World Tour show in Newark, New Jersey on Tuesday, October 8 due to injury. The singer announced the news to his fans on his Instagram yesterday and apologized to them.
“I am very sad to have to postpone tonight’s show. I have an injury that is preventing me from performing. I’m very disappointed in not being able to see you all, but I’m working to reschedule as soon as possible. I promise I will make it through and give you the show you all deserve,” Timberlake, 43, wrote with a broken heart emoji.
While signing off his message as JT he thanked his fans for their understanding and continued support.
Timberlake seems to be enjoying his tour, which he kicked off in April in support of his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was. At his show at Barclays in Brooklyn on October 7, Timberlake looked excited as he helped a fan pop the question to his girlfriend.
“I see a sign that says, ‘Can I propose to Sarah?'” Timberlake said, pausing his show to acknowledge the man with the handwritten poster. “Are you ready?” he asked before handing him the mic. The crowd, always fond of such happy moments, went wild with cameras in their hands when the boy asked his girlfriend to marry him. Sarah’s “yes” was displayed on the field screen.
A few days earlier, Timberlake used his Montreal show to shout out his wife on their 12th wedding anniversary.
“My wife is here tonight, and tonight is our 12th anniversary,” he said as Jessica Biel looked at him from her seat. “So be nice to her, Montreal, because she’s sharing me with all of you tonight,” he joked. “I love you, my love.”
Later, Biel shared this emotional moment on her Instagram story and wrote that she would not want to spend it anywhere else.
The actress and the ten-time Grammy winner got married in southern Italy in October 2012 and have since become parents to sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4.
Timberlake is scheduled to perform in Philadelphia on October 11, followed by a show in Washington, DC on October 13.
